Gerber HS15plus slow key

[Jase]

Just switched my HS15plus on today and for some reason whne I press the slow key the arrows don't seem to move the tool head, it has stopped working. It works fine if I knock the slow key off. I have a GS15 doing the same thing for no apparent reason. Does anyone have a fix or solution? Thanks

Probably needs a new keypad.

Tried different key pads, no luck

Does it do the same when you try the other axis?

same on both axis, lights up, I'll try the fittings again, just seems odd.

Just had some time to look at this more closely and it seems there is some tiny movement being transferred to the x and y axis in slow mode, really odd. I'm going to try swapping it out with a keyboard from a different model just to test it so I'm hoping a HS15 keyboard might work, it looks like the swivel knife option is on a separate ribbon.

Dumb thought but....do you know what the slow key is used for? (Not trying to be rude, just honestly asking). When the slow key is selected it is supposed to move the X and Y axis very very slowly, to allow precise registration on the bullseye (typically for Gerber Edge target registration). Not sure if you knew this already or not (if so my apologies).

It's also handy for loading material as well.

Not at all, no offence and a good point. I have a number of these machines and this is not right. May just break for parts as I can't seem to solve it, going to try swapping out the keypad.
